then you can consume that directly from your code.
var Rwdperf = require('rwdperf');
new Rwdperf({

mobile: true,
emulateViewport: true,
deviceScaleFactor: 1,
scale: 1,
width: 400,
height: 500,
userAgent: null,
cb: handler
}).init();
function handler(err, data) {
if ( err ) return console.log(err);
// all worked out! do amazing stuff with the data...
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
}
